HIFI
APIs for payments, stablecoins and money movement.
HIFI provides infrastructure for businesses to integrate fiat and digital-asset payment workflows. Its API v3 covers account and compliance processes, payment orchestration and supported on-chain assets.
Background
HIFI provides stablecoin and fiat payment infrastructure for developers. Its platform supports inflows, outflows, controls, tokenization, workflows, and private transactions through a single API surface for teams moving money across banks and blockchains.
HIFI publicly announced support for Canton Network settlement, allowing developers to route stablecoin payments through Canton infrastructure with privacy, composability, and institutional-grade compliance.
Key Benefits
• One API for global fiat and stablecoin payments.
• Inflows from banks, cards, and wallets normalized into one model.
• Outflows to bank rails, cards, wallets, and stablecoins.
• Controls for approvals, limits, custody restrictions, and automated workflows.
• KYC, KYB, sanctions screening, monitoring, and compliance tooling built into the platform.
• Canton support for private on-chain settlement using USDCx.
Why Canton
HIFI supports Canton so institutional stablecoin payments can settle on-chain without exposing payment flows, counterparties, routing, treasury positions, or transaction amounts to the broader network. Canton supplies privacy-preserving settlement while HIFI abstracts the payment integration for developers.
What Makes It Unique
HIFI abstracts complex payment infrastructure into a developer API. Businesses can route value across fiat and stablecoin rails, define programmable treasury rules, and use Canton private settlement without writing Daml contracts or running validator infrastructure themselves.
What's Included
Payment workflows
The platform supports money movement through available fiat rails and digital-asset networks. Supported currencies, regions, assets and counterparties depend on the specific integration.
Controls and operations
Current documentation covers compliance, requests for information, transfer approvals, settlement rules and operational exceptions. These controls are part of the integration workflow, not a blanket approval for every use case.
Developer access
Use the v3 documentation, sandbox and developer dashboard for current schemas and onboarding. Confirm Canton asset support separately from HIFI’s wider network coverage.

Behind the Scenes
HIFI connects banks, payment networks, wallets, stablecoins, and blockchains through a single integration layer. Canton routes confidential settlement at the network level while HIFI manages API access, compliance, routing, and fiat disbursement.
Impact
HIFI gives Canton a developer-facing payments integration path for institutional stablecoin settlement. It helps make Canton privacy usable for treasury automation, private cross-border settlement, and repo or collateral workflows where confidentiality is required.

What is stablecoin infrastructure
Stablecoin infrastructure is the set of systems that enable businesses to send, receive, hold, and convert stablecoins at scale: APIs, wallets, blockchain networks, fiat rails, and compliance tooling.
